Lynn, I don't think *that* version is very suitable for XP converts. It is a DEVELOPMENT version with all the bugs still attached.
The URL given earlier is MUCH better because it installs a current release (11.1) of SuSE upgraded with KDE4.3 and will be much easier and safer to install than an 'alpha/beta' version.
Milestone 6, which is what you will get from the /developer site *might* work on many machines but it *won't* work without significant bugs on *any* machine that I know of. Knowledgable people used to "tinkering" with their systems in more than a few cases, have gotten the 'M' series of releases for 11.2 to work relatively reliably, but there are a lot of things not yet set up for general use for the average user....much less a 'newbie'.
Just my $.02 worth...
Cheers, and good luck.... --
